That was why there were four things in life. They carried guns together, went through windows together, shared dirt together, and had sex together … Cough cough.
Now that Naya had invited Song QingShu to do business together, it was obvious that he was the third of the Big Four. The relationship between the two instantly warmed up. Along the way, they put their arms around each other's shoulders and almost became sworn brothers on the street.
When they arrived at the Thunder Palace, Naya requested to see Khubilai under house arrest. This was indeed a mission given to him by Temujin, and it was not a fake imperial edict.
Khubilai was also very depressed. He had been on a roll recently, but that night when he went to his sister-in-law's place, not only did he not get anything, but he also got himself into trouble. Now, he was punished and locked up, and most importantly, there were people checking on him?
Naya saluted, "I hope Your Highness does not mind, this is just a formality."
Khubilai snorted and couldn't be bothered to reply. It was obvious that he was still suppressing his anger.
Naya pretended to watch for a while and then left. He wanted to find a chance to ask Shi Zhixuan, but he ran into Consort Chabi who was rushing over.
Although Princess Chabi was not as seductive as Hai Wansheng, nor as elegant and dignified as Princess Yalun, she was still a beautiful woman. However, she was not as spirited as she usually was. Her eyes were red and slightly swollen. It seemed that she, as a wife, was very sad to see such a thing happen to her husband.
She was also carrying a food box in her hand, probably prepared for her husband.
Noticing their gazes, Chabi snorted coldly, "It's not against the rules for a wife to visit her husband, is it?"
A smile appeared on Naya's face, "Of course it's not against the rules. Please, Your Highness." He then stepped aside to make way.
According to the rules, Khubilai is not allowed to see anyone during this period of time, not even Chabi, but the rules are dead and the people are alive. They are all doing their jobs, so there is no need to risk offending the future Khan and the Khatun (Empress).
"Thank you for your concern, Commander. They are husband and wife after all, so please forgive them." Suluhetini's voice came from behind. The lonely man standing behind him was the Evil King, Shi Zhixuan.
"Your Highness is too serious. The Great Khan is also happy to see the young princes have a harmonious family." After exchanging a few pleasantries, Naya revealed the purpose of his visit. "I heard that the Shadow Assassin, Yang Xuyan, is the Evil King's disciple. Where is he now?"
When he mentioned Yang Xuyan, Song Qingshu noticed that Sulutini's pupils shrank, but he soon returned to normal.
"Yang Xuyan? Shi Zhixuan put on a contemplative expression. "I did indeed take in such a disciple in my early years, but it has been many years since he left my tutelage, and I have never asked about his whereabouts."
Naya's brows furrowed. Such an answer did not satisfy him.
Suluhetini, who was standing at the side, spoke up, "Commander, you might not know this, but the people in the Holy Gate usually move around alone. Even between master and disciple, they don't have a close relationship. In fact, they might not even come into contact with each other."
Still unwilling to give up, Naya Ayu asked: "When was the last time you heard of him?"
Evil King's face was cold. "I don't remember."
Naya Ayu almost choked, but he did not dare to push too hard lest he lose control of his emotions and explode.
Suluhetini asked from the side, "Why did Commander suddenly ask about Yang Xuyan? Did he do something wrong?"
Naya Ah smiled, "Not really. It's just a routine check."
Song QingShu thought that Naya was quite tight-lipped. He didn't say anything in Li Chi Mei or here. He didn't expect Sea Lost to have gotten the news in advance. This woman's methods were really all-pervasive. 89 Wen Net
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Naya Ayu saw that he could not get any more information out of him, so he left the Tuolei Residence.
"I have to go back to verify some things. I can't accompany you anymore." Naya Ayu's expression was solemn. He was no longer as relaxed as he was in the residence.
"Official business is more important. Please help yourself, Commander." Song Qingshu gestured for him to leave.
Naya Ayu cupped his hands and left in a hurry. Song Qingshu planned to go to the shops in the city, but he stopped after a few steps.
"Martial arts of the Tuolei Residence is indeed powerful. You can sense my presence from so far away." A graceful figure walked out from the corner of the street. Her smile was as beautiful as a flower.
"This place is so close to the Tuolei Residence. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the people inside?" Song Qingshu's eyes fell on her bulging clothes. These Mongolian women were really well-nourished.
Sea Lost chuckled. "What are you talking about? It's not a man-eating monster inside, it's my aunt. So what if I'm discovered?"
"Since it's your aunt, why don't you go in and greet her? Instead, you're hiding here sneakily." Song Qingshu thought that this woman was a classic example of lying through her teeth. Who didn't know that the two families were like fire and water?
"I'm here to see you. How can I go and find someone else halfway?" Hai Wansheng laughed. Her mature demeanor was something that most hot-blooded men would find hard to resist.
"Is it because of Naya Ayu?" Song Qingshu asked.
Sea Lost's smile faded. "Yes. Invite him to the Bayin Restaurant tonight."
"So soon?" Song Qingshu was surprised.
"I can see that you two are in a heated battle. Don't tell me you can't do it." Although Sea Lost pretended to be relaxed, the nervousness in her voice could still be felt.
"That will depend on when your exit token arrives." Song Qingshu was curious about what she was planning, but he didn't ask. He knew that she wouldn't tell him even if he did.
Sea Lost took out a document from her pocket. "With this, as long as there aren't too many people, no one will check you when you pass through the city gates."
Song QingShu took it. The warmth of the man's body still lingered on it. This was a temporary pass, and it was perfect for the barbarian merchants to travel. Clearly, the barbarian merchants were closely tied to the Mongolian nobles, and even if the city was sealed, they could not cut off their source of income.
He had the same plan, and the pass came at the right time. "Okay, I'll ask him out. But let me warn you first: if you drag me into this, don't blame me for revealing your role in it."
"You're responsible for inviting him there. You don't have to show yourself." Sea Lost smiled. "Don't worry, we're on the same boat. I wouldn't dare to harm you."
Of course, Song Qingshu didn't completely believe her. After separating from her, he quietly followed her, only to find that she had only returned to her house. There was nothing suspicious.
What he was most curious about was how she was going to deal with Naya. After all, they were in Helin City, right under Temujin's nose. Would she really dare to assassinate him?
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. So he decided to invite Naya first. There was no need to find a reason. Didn't he ask for shares earlier? So it was only right for him to treat him to a meal in return.
Although Naya had been busy with official business recently, he thought of the fact that the Shuiyue Clan had helped him many times recently. Not to mention the previous promise, he couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
